About this route
Late Saturday (post-10pm), the trip out of Sydney CBD costs around A$53.37, an extra A$9.69 above the daytime baseline. The standard path out of Sydney CBD avoids tolls, so the meter is the whole story for this trip.
The Harbour Bridge and tunnel tolls run southbound only, so a northbound CBD trip and its return leg do not cost the same even over identical distance. Over 15.1 km the meter alternates between two rates: a per-kilometre charge while the cab is moving, and a per-minute waiting rate once it drops below the slow-speed threshold. That is why a A$43.68 trip from Sydney CBD to Manly costs more in stop-start traffic than the distance alone suggests. All fares quoted track the official schedule published by Transport for NSW (Point to Point Transport Commission); the day-rate midpoint from Sydney CBD sits at A$43.68.
